Most of the intellectual property majors in domestic universities are in law schools, which means that the degree actually cultivated is a liberal arts degree, not a science degree. But a law major with a liberal arts degree is more direct. It is natural to go to court, be a lawyer and do business in a company. However, the professional direction of intellectual property is very embarrassing. Although it is very advanced, the reality has not yet formed a scale of employment. For a simple example, 99% of the 100 enterprises with output value 1 100 million do not have intellectual property jobs, but most of them have legal departments. Then, the recruitment market will directly recruit law majors or intellectual property majors. The requirements of enterprises are mixed, but the intellectual property specialty is too specialized and the competitiveness of novices is not strong.
What is intellectual property? Patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. The management of trademarks and copyrights is very simple for most enterprises (of course, copyrights are very complicated for music companies and film companies), but patents are very complicated, ranging from patent retrieval, patent application and patent mining to patent application, patent license and litigation. However, the position of patent agent must be a graduate of science and engineering, that is to say, a college graduate majoring in intellectual property with a liberal arts degree was cheated from the beginning. If you can't work as a patent agent, you can only work in trademark, copyright and trade secrets. The law major is more suitable and there is no need to enter the intellectual property major.
The best way to study intellectual property is to study science and engineering at undergraduate level and master's degree at Intellectual Property Institute. For example, South China University of Technology has such a degree. Or a master's degree in law school, you don't have to go to an intellectual property school. What experts can there be in the intellectual property institute in the school? Intellectual property is a very practical subject. You can't see the level in reading, but you can exercise your level in doing things.
(2) Big cities attach importance to intellectual property rights, while no one in small cities attaches importance to intellectual property rights. This judgment is basically very correct. Might as well correct it. It should be that large enterprises pay more attention to intellectual property rights, while small enterprises pay less attention to intellectual property rights. Some small cities have large enterprises and will also attach importance to intellectual property rights. How big a business is? According to my experience, only half of enterprises with annual sales of 5 billion pay more attention to intellectual property rights. However, enterprises with annual sales of 6,543.8 billion yuan have begun to pay attention to legal issues. Of course, there are too many law graduates, so the competition for law majors is too fierce.
(3) Is it difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination for intellectual property rights? The difficulty is the same as other majors, and it is similar to the law major. Few schools offer a master's degree in intellectual property, and few people take it. The difficulty should not be too great.
To sum up, what is the background of the landlord? If the landlord graduated from high school this year and was admitted to the undergraduate major of intellectual property, that would be bad. I suggest you prepare your second major in advance, study a science and engineering major, and do intellectual property work. You must have a major in science and engineering to work in the patent field and obtain the qualification of patent agent. Otherwise, you must have a very good academic background, legal background and excellent grades in order to have the opportunity to engage in intellectual property work in some big companies.
Patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and four major intellectual property rights. After graduation, at the beginning of your career, you have no choice but to find a position, and there is nothing you can do. Therefore, not only intellectual property rights, but also general civil and commercial law, contract law, company law, labor law, traffic law and marriage law, it is best to know more about general lawyer business and have a wide range of employment. After that, it will take at least two or three years to get familiar with social rules before you can consider a certain direction, such as intellectual property rights.
